this episode of technobuffalo is brought to you by netflix what's up everyone welcome back to the episode of rettinger trances to show where I ranted rave on anything from the wide world of technology up this week it's all about the HTC one in particular the crazy spec race and the very odd for megapixel sensor that HTC's put on the next flagship I've read your comments on YouTube and I want to talk about it let's get ranting so on Tuesday HTC took the stage at their own keynote and announced their brains new hot flagship the HTC One this guy's got a 4.7 inch 1080p screen quad-core a pretty awesome-looking industrial aluminum unibody design and by all accounts is the new hotness this is gonna be the phone HTC hoax is gonna bring them back to prominence back in the days of the original Nexus HTC was the manufacturer since then though is Samsung as skyrocketed LG's gained an apple keep selling phones and people are forgetting about poor HTC so that you're saying hey this one is gonna do it for us get it but one of the crazy things they announced is a ultrapixel camera everybody said awesome ultrapixel it's gonna be like nokia's pureview with 32 megapixels instead they said it's gonna have this many megapixels Thor which is weird so let me first say that I have not tested the camera yet I'm gonna hold out final opinions on the camera until I have a chance to test it but I'm trying to go in with an open mind and I think you should too aren't on hey Latinos at the event New York had a chance to play with the phone of course on the screen the pictures look great but that's not the real test gonna see how they look on your computer so let me explain a few things about megapixels the more megapixels you have in a camera doesn't mean the better the camera is that is a huge misconception you think more of something you have better it's gonna be an HTC said they didn't want to get caught up in a spec race which kind of sounds like a cop-out being like hey we don't want to keep putting I inspects in here essentially it's megapixel sensors stacked on top of each other and megapixels as i mentioned don't give you better pick she was essentially the advantage of having more megapixels on a camera is first digital zoom so you can zoom in more you've got more pixels to work with or if you want to print out your image and blow it up to giant size or show it on a giant screen then yes more megapixels definitely are nice well for most of us that are viewing pictures on her phone viewing them on a regular computer even printing out photos for normal size extra megapixels to actually create extra noise inside the picture doesn't mean your pictures are gonna look any less sharp they can actually look a little more blurry sometimes because of more megapixels like she see is saying is that they are taking the best sensors they can scan take 300 times more light into the sensor may be able to have better low-light performance better highlight performance better just performance overall why don't you taking out some of that noise so yeah it's a 4 megapixel sensor but it's a stacked sensor so in theory of these pictures should look absolutely outstanding but how is that going to affect digital zoom how's I can affect things when you want to blow up your image is gigantic that is the big question and I'm really not sure how each GC is gonna answer that yeah it's great give got the Zoe thing where you can make gifts and all that kind of business that move around awesome it'll do that since like the past 15 years but the camera is the big question mark with the HTC one I really want to see how it works if they did it and if they didn't work and it's not as good as advertised HTC is gonna be in a world of hurt so let me take a minute
